I unfortunately missed your question on IRC on this topic: <armoon> xdarklight: just want to understand the confusion on PWREN, either is INPUT / OTPUT to usb hub am I correct My understanding of the INPUT/OUTPUT direction in the Odroid-C1 schematics (which you linked) above is that the arrow direction shows whether it's an input or output. For example (all on page one): - HDMI_HPD is an input to the Meson8b SoC, arrow direction is: HDMI => S805 - IR_IN is an input to the Meson8b SoC, arrow direction is: S805 <= GPIOAO.BIT7 IR_IN - PWM is an output, arrow direction is: S805 => PWM.C VCCK_PWM - 3.3V/1.8V switch for the SD card is an output, arrow direction is: S805 => GPIOAO.BIT3 TF_3V3N_1V8_EN That tells me: the arrow direction shows which connections are inputs or outputs. Some pins can be input and output at the same time (HDMI_CEC). But let's keep it simple for now any only look at inputs/output. Based on this information I am looking at the arrow direction for USB_OTG: GPIOAO.BIT5 PWREN <= S805 So this confirms that GPIOAO_5 is an output to the SoC. Please note though that this part is not linked with any USB host connector, it's only linked to the USB OTG path. For the next part the S805 SoC is not involved: USB1 USB_HOST_PWR_SW PWREN <= PWREN USB_HUB_GL852G USB2 USB_HOST_PWR_SW PWREN <= PWREN USB_HUB_GL852G This tells me that the PWREN signal for the two USB_HOST_PWR_SW (USB host power switches / current limiters) is driven by the GL852G USB hub. The GL852G USB hub datasheet [0] mentions on page 14: pin name: PWREN1#~4 I/O type: O (which stands for: OUTPUT) description: Active low. Power enable output for DSPORT1~4 PWREN1# is the only power-enable output for GANG mode. This seems to confirm my understanding of the Odroid-C1 schematics, where the PWREN signal of the current limiters is coming from the USB hub (so the Meson8b SoC is not involved directly). <armoon> sorry I am not the expert in schematics interpretation, but what I understand is PWREN (GPIOAO.BIT5) is input signal to MP62551DGT-LF-Z which controls the VBUS signal power to USB HUB to pin V5 on GL852G IC That part is unfortunately hard to say because the author of the Odroid-C1 schematics decided to two different signals called PWREN. Now it's not clear if this refers to the USB_OTG PWREN or USB_HOST PWREN signal. Based on page 1 I *assume* that it's linked to the USB_HOST PWREN signal. <armoon> plz check the GL852G power section. it has 5V Power input. It need be NC if using external regulator <armoon> 5V and V33 are the regulator for GL852G IC HUB, Looking at page 27 of the Odroid-C1 schematics I can see that PSELF, PGANG, V33, AVDD1, AVDD2, AVDD3 and DVDD are supplied by a 3.3V power supply called HUB_AVDD. V5 is a 5V signal which is not connected (there's a red cross next to it). <armoon> I feel setting GPIOAO.BIT5 setting to Active Low just enable the 5V via external regulator MP62551DGT-LF-Z My understanding is that GPIOAO.BIT5 enables or disables VBUS for the USB_OTG port (&usb1 in our .dts) See page 28 of the schematics, the RT9715EGB power switch uses a PWREN signal for it's ENABLE pin based on page 1 of the schematics. MP62551DGT-LF-Z would then be getting it's PWREN signal from the GL852G hub. Having different power switches for USB HOST and USB OTG makes sense because for USB OTG the VBUS signal needs to be disabled when in peripheral/device mode (for example when connecting the Odroid-C1 via micro-USB cable to a computer). <armoon> I don't know much on internal IC signal apart from this, may be I need to check with the board designer Odroid / Hardkernel for more details That would be great actually. Unfortunately Brian Kim's email address (which you had Cc'ed in the beginning of this conversation) is not valid anymore. If you have any other contact at Hardkernel then it would be great if you could add them to the loop so they can clear our questions.
